A PRINCESS ARRESTED.

The Attempt at Blackmail by the
Princess DOIgOrOuky Frustrated.
The Princess Dolgorouky has got into
trouble in Vienna and the police are
trying to Straighten her out. 1t is no
easy matter, however, for it is alleged
that the lady has been playing it very
low down on some people, and the job
will consequently take some time. Still,
as she is young and beautiful woman,
the task may not prove disagreeable
one, and the officers of the law won't
find the days hang heavily on their
hands.
The Princess Dolgorouky has often
been in evidence in the public prints,
but never before in ScandalOuS and
reprehensible manner. The story of
her life began on the 22d of May, 1859, at
Bagneres de BigOrre, in the department
of the Hautes Pyrenees, in France,
where as Julie Gabrielle de Casnas de
Lapierre she was married to Prince
DOlgOrOuky. She was not quite twenty
at the time, and not only dazzling
beauty, but musician of rare accom-
pliShments. She spoke several Ian
guageS and was spirited and interest
ing cOnversatiOnaliSt.
The prince was very much in love
with her, but it was noticed the lady did
not appear to be very deeply attached to
her husband. In few years they sep
arated and went to live in different
countries. He remained while in
Italy, then went to Russia, and finally
settled in the TyrOl.
She went to Paris and seemed to bury
her trouble in the gay life of that city.
She took with her their only son and
put him to school. One day the prince
cfn1p tho hny- md 0arrinI him off 'Nhn
mother for time was very unhappy,
but finally cOnSOled herself with VIC
lin. She had always been good player,
and practice and study made her better.
She appeared in public, made success
and then played in several of the large
cities in Europe.
At last she went to Vienna, was
coldly received, and, owing to local
personal feelings, she took her failure
to heart and sank out of sight. All of a
sudden she burst upon the world again
and in startling and unexpected way.
A few days ago MIR. De POmice, man
ager of an aquarium in London, re-
ceived letter signed by the director of
the international agency for the secret
purchase and sale of private cOrreSpOn-
dence and giving the principal Office of
the agency as located on the Boulevard
Capucines in Paris. The letter re-
Quested Mr.. De Pomice to send $500
sterling at once to Edmund Moreau, at
Vienna, Austria. if he did not wish to
have all his love letters to the Princess
DolgOrOuky published as we'll as the
photos he sent her in some of the notes.
Mr.. De Pomice did not reply, but
sent the letter to the police in Vienna.
These gentlemen soon dis covered
the whereabouts of the Princess and
Moreau, who was figuring as the
manager of the Lily. He and his
star violin player were Gagged like pair
of poor ducks in cellar in the outskirts
of the city. They were arrested but the
princess was allowed to go on her own
recogniZance and cautioned about her
future conduct. This put stop to
project the princess had in contempla-
ton and which was to have been carried
out at once. She had arranged to give
series of concerts in company with her
friend and companion in adventures,
the Princess Pignatelli. One was to
play the violin, the other sing loose
songs in the restaurants, gardens and
variety theaterS throughout the conti-
nent, and, of course, realize fortune.
This scheme. however, must now be de-
layed until MOreau gets out of prison,
when, there is no doubt, the world will
hear more of the two lovely artiSteS.
